Knowledgeable and supportive for older client

I engaged Mr. Hu to help with the process for my mother's green card. Throughout the process I was impressed by Mr. Hu's knowledge and professionalism. He was responsive and really supported my mother (who is not very tech savvy) with putting together the appropriate documentation, prepping for the i...nterview, keeping us informed about the application status and any questions we had. Highly recommend Mr. Hu for your immigration needs.

Highly professional while having compassion to clients!

Attorney Hu is very professional and proactive in helping my green card application. He makes sure my application package is comprehensive and represents solid evidence from different angles. He also informs me whenever there are updates on USCIS processing time or official notices that might be rele...vant to my case. I feel like in very good hands.

When knowledge meets care, it leads to competence.

You can get a lot of knowledgable lawyers, they have all seen your issue before. It takes care and sympathy to your case to know you are dealing with a lawyer who is competent, who combines great expert knowledge with the human care aspect; and that is what Ben is. I had a very difficult case in o...btaining an approval for my I-360 papers. In fact, it was more or less unprecedented and a lot of work had to be done that was not done before in similar cases. Ben was brought in to assist in handling the case, and succeeded alongside an expert to achieve what was regarded as a Victory to both the company I work for and the law-firm he was brought in for this specific case. He was always attentive to my questions, suggested things to be said or written to aid me in my case, and I felt safe enough as he spoke and advised in a way where you knew this Professional is actually putting himself in your own shoes when dealing with the case. Highly recommend Ben and thank him for his work.

expert witness

Every author needs an editor. Every writer needs a copy reader. Every expert needs a challenger. Benjamin Hu performed all three duties to the highest standards in my recent work with him. Mr. Hu and his law firm (at the time) engaged me to respond to RFE in five cases before the U.S. Citizen...ship and Immigration Services. Mr. Hu and his associates created a new format for the RFE’s, far more structured that typical evaluation letters. In fact, Mr. Hu encouraged me to participate in the development of the format of these more structured USCIS expert letters. He engaged me to fit my observations, assessments and evaluations into the new model. Never directing my content or opinion, never impinging on my independence as an expert, Mr. Hu utilized my work into his elaborate structure. His explanations and questions were always clear and concise, always encouraging and within professional bounds. His format and my content worked: All five RFE’s were successful, including two that had been previously rejected by USCIS. Kent

Incredibly helpful and extremely polite

I am a physician who, through Benjamin Hu and the team of lawyers and para-legals that work closely with him have successfully helped me secure a sub-specialty waiver in the state of NJ. The process is difficult and takes a lot of coordination and attention to detail and Benjamin who I have had the p...leasure of working with personally, has handled the stress of my case with great skill and intellect. He remains polite, is always available to answer questions to help reassure me when things are on track and guide me when more work needs to be done. His correspondence is prompt and always accurate. I would definitely recommend him to people looking for representation for immigration visas like I am.
